%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established curative modality for various hematological malignancies and other diseases. Hepatobiliary dysfunction and subsequent sequelae constitute a common cause of morbidity and mortality in post-transplant scenario. However, data among Indian HSCT recipients is lacking.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>One hundred and one HSCT recipients (37 prospective and 64 retrospective) were followed up for hepatobiliary dysfunction in the post-transplant period. The causes for hepatobiliary dysfunction were categorized as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), formerly known as veno-occlusive disease (VOD); acute and chronic graft-versus- host disease (GVHD); drug-induced liver injury (DILI); viral infections and miscellaneous causes including bacterial, fungal and unknown causes based on clinical and laboratory evidence.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Among the 101 transplants, 56.44% (n = 57) were allogenic transplants, and 43.56% (n = 44) were autologous transplants. Hepatobiliary dysfunction was observed among 71 (70.30%) patients in first 30 days and overall, among 78 (77.23%) patients. Incidence of hepatobiliary dysfunction was higher among allogenic transplant patients compared to autologous transplants (91.23% vs. 59.09%, p < 0.001). The most common cause of hepatobiliary dysfunction reported was Drug-induced liver injury (DILI). In most cases, however, hepatobiliary dysfunction was multifactorial. Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (15.79%), acute liver GVHD (31.58%), chronic liver GVHD (33.33%) and viral infection/reactivation (26.32%) were reported only in allogenic transplant patients. 15 (14.85%) patients died of which 14 patients had hepatobiliary dysfunction, commonest cause being infections.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Our study reported a higher incidence of hepatobiliary dysfunction among Indian population post HSCT and was associated with significant mortality. In majority of the cases, the cause is multifactorial and pose a diagnostic dilemma and challenges in therapy.
